Coronavirus conversations: Young widows

We speak to three women who found support online after losing their husbands to Covid-19.

We continue to bring together people from across the world who have been affected by the coronavirus pandemic. Today we speak to three young women whose husbands have died from Covid-19. They have been finding support from one another through a coronavirus widows Facebook page.

Also, the US House of Representatives is preparing to vote to impeach President Donald Trump over his role in last week's storming of Congress. Democrats accuse the president of encouraging his supporters to attack the Capitol building, and some members of Mr Trump's Republican party say they will join the Democrats to impeach him. We'll hear the latest from Washington and speak to some Republican voters who no longer support President Trump.

And, we'll spend some time talking about drill music - a genre of rap that originated in Chicago. The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ has been looking into drill here in the UK - whereΒ people’s appearances inΒ music videos andΒ theΒ lyricsΒ they’ve performedΒ have been used to help convict them in criminal trials. We'll speak to our reporter who's involved in the investigation.
